I didn't care for the dress the first time around and I like it even less now. Not at all fitting for a Crown Princess to wear, IMHO. It lacks elegance; and with all of the accessories, such as the big bracelets and beads, it also looks cheap. Her hair and make-up look quite nice, however...soft and pretty.

I think the dress itself is quite nice - it seems to match Letizia as it emphasises her almost ideal waist. But what I almost always don't like in her style is her shoes. The same is in this case - they seem to be too sophisticated and therefore I'd prefer some simple ones - with fewer strings or ... hidden tips.

One of the reasons I love Máxima is because she wears things from a long time ago, let's say even 7 years before.

I loved these outfits too! I just don't understand (nor like) her recent sense of style, nor the tinkering with her face this past year. It is too early in her life to be tweaking things like her face. Queen Sylvia makes me shudder at times.

I have to say Letizia's fashion is not the best. Sometimes i think her stylist doesn't quite understands her body. She always seems a little bit akward. For example, what's going on with all those crazy shoes that really make nothing for her legs. She should not try to reach her husband. Leti c'omon!!! You are beautiful you do not neet to galm yourself so much and try to look like a fashionista. You are beautiful just the way you are, stop trying to fit in. (i hope she reads this)

She normally wore her new clothes once every month or every other month. She had this patterned dress in May Colombia, June meeting with the patrons of the PoA foundation and in July. She had a nice Hugo Boss dress last year, what a waste not to recycle it.
